Slice the chicken breasts into four long strips; set aside.

In a large skillet melt 1/2 cup butter with the olive oil over medium heat; add green onions, red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning and garlic; cook stirring for 2 minutes no more than 2 minutes or the garlic will start to burn) then stir in lemon juice.

Add in chicken strips then sprinkle with seasoned salt and black pepper; cook stirring with wooden spoon over medium heat for 3-4 minutes.

Reduce heat to low and cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked through.
